Marnee Thai is one of my favorite cozy places for Thai food in the Bay Area. The food is consistently good. Located in the Inner Sunset, lots of restaurants come and go but Marnee Thai has survived all the changes with quality in tact. I love their crab fried rice and green curry. Good service. Highly recommend! read more

LOVE I've been coming here for years. It's always good. Love the seasonal specials. Today I had banana blossom tom ka and banana (plantain) curry. The banana curry was wonderful -- beef, bananas and red curry make a great flavor combination. LIKE Friendly service. Cozy seating. MEH Banana blossoms sound better than they are, but it was OK. read more

Ordered online ... the site actually have a count down timer for your food to be ready for pickup. Let us see how accurate it is. The timer said 5:16PM minutes... actual pickup is 5:16PM...way to go Marnee Thai!! Parking is one of the biggest problem with coming here... get here early. We ordered the following: Spicy Angel Wings: love the fried basil. Deep fried wings, then sauteed in a chili garlic sauce. The wings are flavorful but a bit dry today. Kang Ka Ree - Chicken (Yellow Curry): even though it was suppose to be "Not Spicy" it was bit spicy... just a bit. The potatoes were really tender. Note the curry is watery, so use some white rice to absorb up the curry. Pad Se Ew - Beef: Think beef chow fun. The beef is tender. I really love the semi-cooked onions, the crunchiness really compliments the fried fat noodles. Flavor is mild and sweet. Thai Style Fried Rice - Roast Pork: Cannot go wrong with fried rice... there are slices of tomatoes hidden under the mounds of rice. The roast pork was pretty good. Love the fresh cilantro. Staff was friendly and even offered a small cup of Thai Iced Tea when I went in to pickup the food... much thanks for that!! read more

I was a bit apprehensive to eat at this place because the first time I had Thai food (at a different restaurant) was a bit disappointing. Marnee Thai, however, completely changed my perspective on Thai food and I really enjoyed what we ordered. upon entering, the ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I were seated in the corner of the restaurant, and taken care of by the sweetest server. all of the portions are shareable, but can be eaten yourself if you have a big appetite. we decided to share our food so we only ordered a few items. we started off with the angel wings appetizer which was so juicy. The pad Thai was delicious and slightly spicy because that's how my boyfriend wanted it lol. the pad prew wharn was yummy and light. The pineapple is the perfect sweet fruit to balance out the savory flavors. I only got a photo of the chicken because we were so hungry and once we started eating I forgot to take pictures of everything else. The food came out pretty quickly and we didn't have to wait long to be seated (this was on a saturday around 6pm). read more

Been coming to this Marnee since the 1990s and it still is a good, authentic place to enjoy traditional and unique Thai food made by a great family. I don't think the interior has changed so it's a little dated but the food is still as delicious as ever. The service is very attentive and the food comes out fairly fast. We recently ordered to go and food was ready in less than 10 minutes! The traditional dishes I love are the pad thai and Tom yum soup. The corn cakes are so good! The spicy chicken wings is a must! Their basa fillet with garlic is out of this world. Roasted duck and curries are also worth a try. Come with friends or family share the goodness family style meal that will never disappoint! I recommend this to anyone looking for great Thai food. This restaurant has been around for decades for a reason! 4 solid stars! read more

A great local Thai spot. A wide variety of dishes all done really well. I really enjoyed the fried ride and pad kee mao. Portions are really generous. The soup was served in this big pot, poured out to smaller bowls at the table. The vegetarian version of the soup was perfectly savory for a rainy night - but definitely on the saltier side and also had large chunks of unchewable hard lemon grass. The mango fried rice was also great, not different at all from the regular fried rice just with mango chunks. Overall I think this place has great Thai classics to choose from, offerings on the variations of the classic dishes may not be as different/unique though. read more

This place was a favorite many years ago. Maybe my tastes have changed and I've tried other Thai food places. The mango sticky rice was the most delicious. Everything else was standard. I felt disappointed in the shrimp and scallop dish. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hope. read more

Got the pad kee mao togo and it was very flavorful but was lacking spicy even after requesting spicy. It was also a little too oily for my taste. The pork wasn't dry though! read more

Coconut noodles: Dry and bland. The wait person pushing specials by saying "only 2 left" in a car sales person rush to get you to buy was quite off putting. Positive note: the ice cream with desert was good. read more

Went to marnee Thai last weekend to with the family and overall enjoyed myself with service, but the food was a mix of hits and misses. This place was definitely crowded and thankfully we made a reservation which helped. We ended up ordering: * angel wings - crispy sweet wings which I loved, this is a popular dish there *chicken satay - this was also yummy but I wish the meat was more marinated and a bit more juicy * chicken fried rice - this was simple yet delicious, everyone on the table enjoyed this *shrimp pineapple fried rice - this was also good but the rice was a bit different, I personally liked the chicken one more but this was not bad *panang curry - this was overall okay we got it with chicken but the curry was not as flavorful as I am Use it * Green curry - this was decent *pad Thai - everyone enjoyed this dish, on the sweeter side and it's yummy! Overall the food was average so worth going only if in the area and craving Thai food. read more

Got to go pad kee Mao for dinner and it was delicious! I also ordered the samosas and was pleasantly surprised by the sweet flavor incorporated into the savory. The service was fast m, under 20 min,and the restaurant decor was warm and welcoming. Be careful about which location you order and pick up from! Both are on Irving street. read more

Marnee Thai - Pad kee mao with shrimp - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Generous portions but didn't have as much intensity as I expected. I and my friends stopped by this cute restaurant on a Saturday for a late lunch, and had no wait which was great! We were quickly settled and ordered a variety of their dishes, I ended up getting the pad see ew with roast duck, maximum spiciness, with most of my friends also getting noodle dishes. The dishes themselves had really nice portion sizes but the taste lacked severely in my opinion. Despite asking for the highest spiciness as well as receiving additional spicy powder and flakes, I found none of the options to provide any spiciness at all to add to the dish. The flavor of the dishes was okay, with pad see ew or other noodle dishes, usually you should see slight burns on the noodles that add to the flavor of the dish and brings some texture in, but I didn't find those on my noodles. Additionally, the bowl has a sauce on the bottom that I found to be overbearing. All in all, I would personally not recommend the noodle dishes but maybe it was just one unlucky experience. I think this place is convenient and safe but not too much past that read more

BAM! Still the BEST THAI FOOD IN THE WORLD. The homemade coconut milk and corn and pumpkin "pancakes" are supremely incredible. Their mango seeet rice dessert sets the standard for all others. And their tom ka gai soup is the most delectable version I've ever had. Ive had that food on several continents but the folks at Marnee make the best. Marnee is a treasure. read more

Consistently delicious with warm service. I've never had a mediocre dish or rude service.

Narrow deep space as one can see the bustling kitchen with its fluorescent lights. Greeted promptly. We ordered a sweet n spicy sticky appetizer (non stuffed angel wings) and two lunch options (pad ginger, pad). We enjoyed the Spicy Angel Wings, fried chicken wings made with a chili-garlic sauce and fried basil, my personal addiction. Comfortable and amiable service staff. Seatings in central aisles. Few tables at the rear of the restaurant in the opposite side. Small, functional space with spot lights. Food is the rock star here. No nonsense interior, where quality and value of food shines. From dish to dish, Marnee Thai pleases all palettes. read more

I haven't visited Marnee Thai in years. It used to be one of my favorite spots for Thai cuisine and one of the best in the city, often recommended to visitors. However, my latest experience was quite disappointing, possibly because I recalled it being a lot better in the past. We came for dinner on a Friday night, at around 630. Walked in for a table of 3, no reservations. Surprisingly, there was no wait at all, which struck me as odd considering this restaurant used to be bustling with a line stretching out the door. But not that night; I should have taken that as a warning sign. We ordered our regular favorites: Tom Ka Soup, Angel Wings, Pad See Eew, and Panang Beef Curry. Wanting to try something new, I asked the waitress for a recommendation, and she suggested Lemongrass Ginger Chicken. Why not? The Tom Ka Soup was the first dish to arrive. Typically, this soup has a light orange hue, resulting from the blend of coconut milk and spices. However, this time it looked more like Tom Yum and had an overwhelmingly sour flavor--too sour for my liking. On the contrary, the Pad See Ewe lacked flavor. Certain portions of the noodles were clumped together. The Beef Curry featured pieces of beef that were tough and dry. The most disappointing dish was the Lemongrass Ginger Chicken. There was something peculiar about it (possibly raw peppercorns), but it was absolutely inedible. I was strongly considering sending it back to the kitchen, yet we chose not to. My husband usually hates wasting food, but after dinner, the lemongrass ginger chicken remained largely untouched. When the waiter inquired if we needed a take-out box, we promptly declined, but he didn't seem to catch on. Speaking of the service, it left much to be desired. We had to request water refills and signal to someone to pick up our credit card for the bill. The restaurant wasn't even that crowded! Additionally, I was particularly let down by the so-called 'recommendation' of the lemongrass ginger chicken. That dish has a very distinct and acquired taste, which is definitely not for everyone. read more

Occasionally erratic with seasoning, but 90% of the time the best pad ginger chicken I've ever had! And they've been very responsive when I've complained! read more

Food is sooo good! Service impeccable. I strongly recommend Marnee Thai! We eat there at least every other week! Unbelievable!

I've been a big fan of their inner Sunset restaurant for several years now, so it was just a matter of time before I tried their original Outer Sunset location. Of course, I thought it would be a dining experience in the actual restaurant, but this pandemic has forced me (and everyone else) to go the takeout route as I was strolling on Irving on a brisk afternoon. Now I don't live anywhere near the Outer Sunset, so I took the N-Judah for a long ride home to enjoy the food. Indeed I did because everything was well packed and I don't believe the aroma got me any small-mouth on the train. But how would I know since everyone was wearing a mask? I ended up ordering two dishes. The first was the $21.79 Roasted Boneless Duck, luscious pieces of succulent duck placed on a bed of spinach drizzled with a savory house sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/2ZE3j8S). Even after a long MUNI ride, it was still perfectly warm. The other dish was the $17.19 Vegetable Deluxe, a mix of sautéed veggies, tofu, mushrooms, and baby corn in a light oyster sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3FZpeqL). It had a slight crunch and provided a nice complement to the duck. Marnee Thai didn't disappoint me, and I look forward to a real dining experience the next time.

What a hidden gem! It's nestled between a grocery store and another store. Very authentic Thai food with plenty of vegetarian options that don't compromise the flavor. Their corn fritters are delish. We tried the pad Thai, Thai fried rice and yellow curry with vegetables. All delicious! The service was quick and friendly. It's a small space with pretty Thai paintings on the wall and fresh orchids at every table. read more

Amazing chef with amazing taste. I watch my plate with live making from start to end this experience was amazing

My absolute favorite for thai food. i recently tried their homemade hotcakes made of coconut and loved them. They were fresh, soft, light in weight and yummy. I ordered them via doordash. I have also been to this restaurant location near Golden gate park. If you want thai, yo've got to go with marnee thai. read more

Food was awesome. We ordered vegan mango rice, vegan pumpkin curry, chicken yellow curry, bbq chicken and shrimp pad Thai. Will definitely come back for more. Service was phenomenal, they were attentive without hovering, and very friendly. Ambiance was great, very cozy! read more

My go-to place if I want Thai food in the Outer Sunset. I love how they have their usual staple items but also seasonal items if you want to try something new. It's been a while since I've done dine in as I usually get things to go. Service is pretty quick though on busy nights it does make it a little hard to maneuver around the tables and seats as the place is small. My recommended items: - mango fried rice - hotcakes - summer rolls read more

I remember the first time I came here, it was about 6-7 years ago. I've come back a handful of times over the years and the food was always delicious. My usual go-to's are curries and pad see ew (mostly pad see ew lately). I recently ordered drunken noodles & pad see ew for my boss and I via Doordash like 2 months ago and we were both very disappointed. He actually told me to never order from Marnee Thai for us again - that's how disappointed he was! I thought maybe they had a bad day but I came back last night to get their beef pad see ew again, and I'm starting to think it's not bad days. I feel like the ingredients they now use are lower quality than a couple years ago. The meat (beef) felt tougher and it didn't look like meats I've seen in pad see ews and the noodles lacked flavor. There is also a minimum charge of $15 for credit cards. There was no signage anywhere and I was not made aware of this. I found this out from their QR menu. Pad see ew is listed as $10.95 ($15.25 with PRAWNS) and they charged me $15 + tax, so my bill for a pad see ew was ~$17+. If that was the case, maybe I should've gone to Farmhouse Thai! Charging me $5 extra for using a credit card was excessive in my case. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Old waitress is so rude. The older lady with short hair was so rude!!! I was a party of six and wanted to order a lot from them. She talks over us and rushes us to order. She wouldn't listen to my families allergy concerns but she kept talking over us and gave attitude. I asked for suggestions she had none to give. She rushed to take the menus away when I still was not done telling her my order. I asked if we can still order the bbq pork and she responded "you didn't order it do you want it or no"... but if she would've let me order it then I would've ordered it. No sense of customer service at all. When she responded to me like that and in a rude way that's when I said forget it And walked out and noticed all the gnats by the entrance. When we walked in there were only a few people there, now I see why. Thank goodness we decided to get up and walk out and not eat here. read more

Once upon a time long ago, Marnee Thai was my favorite Thai restaurant. They serve authentic and tasty Thai food. I particularly liked their angel wings and pad Thai. After I moved to San Mateo County, we started going to White Elephant in South San Francisco for Thai food. White Elephant is owned and operated by someone who once worked at Marnee Thai. I was recently in the Sunset and walked by Marnee Thai. Although I was in the neighborhood picking up from a different restaurant, I couldn't resist getting some food from Marnee. I placed a takeout order for green curry with prawns, angel wings and basil chopped chicken. The green curry had a lot of flavor and spice, but a bit spicy and I got chicken instead of prawns. Husband enjoyed the chopped chicken but said the angel wings at White Elephant are better. I'd come here again if craving Thai food and in the area, but think I'll stick to my favorite on the Peninsula to satisfy my frequent Thai cravings. read more

I had a big thai food craving so I ordered some from Marnee Thai, and craving was filled! I ordered the usual pad thai and mango sticky rice, both were delicious. However, I was amazed at a new dish I decided to try- their coconut stir fried noodles. The dish was composed of skinny rice noodles with sauce and egg. The sauce was so good, kind of like a stronger pad thai sauce with a hint of coconut flavor. This is definitely my new fave to order instead of pad thai! The prices are a bit high here but the servings are huge. I had ordered to go and the boxes were noticeably larger than normal take out boxes. You can order via a third party app like I did or you can call ahead. If you can, dine in is nice as their interior is kind of like a hut theme with some thai decorations. Overall I recommend coming here to get your thai food fix, or if anything give the coconut stir fried noodles a try! read more

I love Marnee thai! #1 favorite thai place in SF. The king of Thailand agrees. They have a certificate.

This place is an SF essentially!!! Amazing Thai food for an amazing price!!! especially if you go for lunch since there's lunch specials. There wasn't a wait when we came but there usually is if you go on a weekend night. When you get in and order, the food takes around 15 minutes so it was prepared pretty quickly. The pad thai is amazing here!!!! They give you spices on the side for if you want it less sweet. They give 4-5 shrimp per plate which is pretty standard for pad thai. It tastes so authentic. Absolutely love!! The red curry was delicious as well! Pretty spicy but had a lot of chicken and goods in there which made the meal so worth it!! read more

Marnee Thai is a great place for nice homey comfort Thai food! We went a little overboard ordering delivery because there were so many dishes I wanted to try, but I didn't mind because most of it reheated really well and were great as leftovers. We had the hotcakes and the angel wings as appetizers, both of which were pretty tasty. The hotcakes were sweet and custard-y and coconut-y, almost dessert-like, but very satisfying. The wings were sweet and and sticky and a little spicy but delicious. I will say you could definitely tell they both suffered in quality a little bit from the delivery, but that was pretty expected. We also tried the pad see ew, the pad kaprow, and the mussamun chicken curry. The pad see ew was pretty standard (good but not mindblowing, although I appreciated the amount of veggies it came with) and the pad kaprow was super flavorful and great with rice, but the mussamun chicken curry was my favorite of the three. It was so rich and flavorful with peanuts and tender pieces of chicken and extremely comforting on a cold day. Everything was delicious and pretty different from other Thai restaurants I've had. I would definitely order from here again, especially to try some of their other curries out! read more

When you walk into this beautifully decorated restaurant, the aromas have you lusting for every dish on the menu! Fortunately, I went with my foodies and we picked 5 things off the menu and each dish was exquisite. The duck fried rice had the fatty and buttery flavor you look for. The Tom Kha was light and had my palette going to flavor town! You may question why veggie pad Thai, but I can tell you it was screaming with umami and I would recommend it for anyone! My least favorite dish was the yellow curry, the broth was a little runny for my liking, however, it tasted even better the day after. Overall, the staff is welcoming and energetic, you can see the chefs getting after it, and this place is a must go! read more

Randomly found this thai restaurant on yelp and the food was so good! The service was terrible with the waitress being borderline rude making us feel very rushed to order and finish our food. Along with that, there were flies everywhere which made the restaurant have a "dirty" feeling. The food was tasty which is unfortunate. I would recommend this place for take out rather than dine in if you're looking for tasty and authentic thai food. read more

loved the pad see ew here. generous portion and the noodles were the perfect chewy texture and the perfect balance between sweet and savoury. every time i get thai food, i always get pad see ew so i've tried a ton of places around the bay, but this was one of the best. i also shared the tom yum soup with my friends and the server was kind enough to portion the soup for us into our little bowls. would definitely come back! read more
